[The fax machine buzzes with a printout] Hello, I've recently become concerned about a potential OSHA violation. One of the crew was inquiring about access to uranium, which as a class-II material should have restricted access. The concern, however, is that there shouldn't be any uranium on the ship in the first place, but I'm still unable to verify whether or not some has made its way onto the ship through unknown means. Can you advise about the best course of action to take? Regards, Captain G. Curly Pony Express Long-Haul Freighter Tulpar

[What the fuck. He stares at the fax paper, brow furrowed and mouth slightly agape, before he starts typing back.]

Hello, Captain!

Yeah, that definitely breaches company protocol and is punishable by a crew pay dock. Any uranium on board must be seized immediately and handed over to a licensed and trained Pony Express staff member.

If you are not qualified or not secure in your ability to search the ship for uranium, a team can be deployed to help you.

Any uranium found by our safety inspection team will be confiscated. Contraband uranium may be sold by the company as an alternative to pay demerits. Please message me further about any developments in this case. Refusal to follow this protocol will result in higher management being notified.

Regards, Grant V. Wolfrum Pony Express, Safety and Security Department

Gebbers Farm Operations, LP fined more than $2 million for COVID-19 rule violations

TUMWATER — An investigation into the COVID-19 deaths of two workers at a Central Washington farm has found dozens of safety and health violations.

As a result, the Washington state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) has cited Gebbers Farm Operations, LP in Brewster and issued one of the largest workplace safety and health fines in state history, $2,038,200.

"This farm clearly understood the steps they were required to take to keep workers safe and prevent the spread of the coronavirus," said L&I Director Joel Sacks.

"Gebbers made it very apparent to investigators they had no intention of following the rules as written regarding temporary agricultural worker housing and transportation," said Sacks.

Investigation opened after COVID-19 complaints from workers

L&I's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) opened an investigation July 16 after receiving anonymous calls from workers at Gebbers Farm. The first caller said someone at the camp had died from COVID-19, adding that the workers who shared the same cabin with the deceased were not tested for the virus and were then split up into different cabins with other migrant workers.

The second caller said he feared that hundreds of workers at his camp have COVID-19, including himself, and he worried he would die. He said the farm owners did nothing to help the sick and just left them in their cabins to die.

During the inspection, investigators confirmed a 37-year-old temporary worker from Mexico died July 8; the death had not been reported to DOSH as required. Businesses must report any workplace-related fatality within eight hours.

A second worker, a 63-year-old man from Jamaica, collapsed and died July 31. The cause of death for both workers was COVID-19.

Donkin mine closer to resuming full production after shutdown last year | CBC News

A Cape Breton coal mine's ground control and ventilation plans have been approved, but the electrical plan is still under review.

The underground coal mine in Donkin, N.S., is still operating under a limited licence from the province, but is inching toward approval for full production.

The mine was shut down for about a month last year after a series of rockfalls. It was allowed to reopen, but mining could only take place in a short section.

Harold Carroll, executive director of Nova Scotia Labour's occupational health and safety branch, said mine operator Kameron Coal's ground control and ventilation plans have been approved, and an electrical plan has been submitted and is under review.
